Patient-derived organoids in disease modelling

Drug Target Review

How can PDOs revolutionise drug discovery and deepen our understanding of disease? Patient-derived organoids (PDOs) are proliferative 3D cell structures derived from tissue samples of both healthy and diseased tissue. What sets PDOs apart from traditional 2D cell and animal models used in drug discovery?

CAR-NK cells: promising for cancer therapy

Drug Target Review

NK cells are among the front line of protection from infected and abnormal cells as part of the ‘innate immune response’. They recognise ‘cell stress molecules’ on the surface of infected, old, injured and cancerous cells without the need for complex pre-stimulation signals of the adaptive immune system (eg, T cells).

In one experiment, the microneedle patches were used to deliver a SARS-CoV-2 vaccine into mice, producing immune responses similar to a traditional injection. Printed vaccines caused mice to have a faster immune response. Nature Cell Biology. vander Straeten et al. Emily Anthes for The New York Times.
